The tweet after Franken announced his resignation from the Senate after facing pressure from his colleagues amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations.

“I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a senator, nothing, has brought dishonor on this institution, and I am confident that the Ethics Committee would agree. Nevertheless, today I am announcing that in the coming weeks I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate,” Franken said in a speech on the Senate floor. Franken is the latest high-profile male to depart his job amid sexual misconduct allegations.

His Democratic colleague in the House, Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) announced his resignation amid allegations against him on Tuesday.

11. What the hell?!?!

16. There are even more times that Leeann Tweeden posted to Don Jr in 2011

The reason I joined was to get more people to pay attention to these tweets. LOL. I’m very frustrated no one from any media outlet searched ‘donaldtrumpjr’ from:leeanntweeden on Twitter to see all their interactions.

33. As a rule, we don't think like them

I don't want to be like them in any regard, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight back, instead of rolling over and playing dead. Just throw our best and brightest under the bus. In the meantime, they are going to trivialize real sexual assault and misconduct, setting women back possible decades.

27. And P.S.

35. Thank you!

I think I need ten posts to start a thread because I tried but it blocked me because I’m new... as soon as I do, I will start a thread. I messaged a NYT’s account, an NBC News producer, and Joe Scarborough (lol) on Twitter with some screenshots the day it was posts — none responded... It’s hard to message news accounts because most block people from messaging them.

But I’m surprised it hasn’t received coverage. The first thing I did when I heard about the allegations was search leeanntweeden trump in twitter and a couple of her posts with Don Jr. come up — enough for a news outlet to dig deeper and do the more advanced Twitter search. Very frustrating. It’s not that I don’t believe women — but I don’t believe THIS woman. Yes, women who are friends with Trump Jr., Hannity, etc. can be sexually assaulted, but there are TOO many coincidence with her connections and the timing.

40. Yes

I didn't realize you post count was that low when I said it. Please be sure to post a thread once you are able. This is really big.

I take accusations of sexual assault very seriously too, but none of this passes the smell test. It is coming across as an Atwater/Rove hit job. There is no tactic too low or too dirty for these people.

If you haven't already, you might try Rachel Maddow. She tends to respond to viewers better than most.

55. That would be incredible

This story just infuriates me and it’s not like I’m this huge Al Franken supporter and fan... if the allegations are true, by all means, force him to resign. But it feels like we are letting unsubstantiated blog posts win. News outlets that fear being called the “liberal media” will react harder to democrats without truly looking at the bigger picture.

The other allegations—Weinstein, Cosby, Charlie Rose, Bill O’Reilly, Lauer—all have been exposed thanks to real substantiated journalism. I am a huge supporter of women, but Bannon once said, “As long as democrats play identity politics, republicans win.” Republicans know how to make democrats go crazy—accuse one of their people—but if anyone questions the allegations, call democrats out for hypocrisy and accuse them of not believing women. But realistically, these allegations have not been substantiated and Tweeden, who goes on a happy press tour the day she writes her blog, undermines real victims. She is out there just telling a story that did not prevent her from getting ahead that has not internally wounded her clearly.... it undermines teachers, nurses, waitresses, etcetera who show up to their job and actually truly suffer from forcible sexual misconduct.

66. Same here

This all sets back progress light years if we continue on these witch hunts. Pretty soon legitimate victims will remain quiet and the con artists and grifters will run this into the ground. We'll be back where we started and women will lose the little power they have gained.

69. She's a birther who likes fast food and golf, so they have things in common

70. As soon I read that Roger Stone..

tweeted about her accusations before they were announced to the MSM. I knew it was all a setup. It's damn infuriating that the Democrats were so quick to throw Al under the bus. This is opening the door for other Democrats to be accused and then just tossed out. What a shame.

25. what an asshole

29. Winners are allowed to gloat

We are only allowed to grovel in the shit they throw at us...If democrats don't pull their heads out of their asses on so many level we will continue to lose and they will continue to gloat. as they should...because winners are ALLOWED TO GLOAT
